I'm playing tricks in Daqin

"Okay, I was joking with you just now, go and find out what's going on with Lin Ximin's case."

No need to suffer that knife, Chen Yuzhou agreed excitedly, and left happily.

The emperor met a liar on the way to incense, and by the way he molested someone else's fiancée. Naturally, it would not spread, but the emperor ran to the Banruo Temple, touched the Buddha statue, and beat the Buddha statue with a scabbard despite the obstruction of several eminent monks. The news spread throughout Chang'an City like the wind.

After listening to his subordinates' report, Zhuang Zhiming said with a sneer, "The dog emperor is really crazy."

"Father, what does the emperor mean?"

Zhuang Zhiming didn't answer, turned his head and said, "Ru'er, tell me, what does the emperor want to do?"

"There are already signs of a money shortage. The emperor must be aware of it. Going to the temple is probably the way the emperor came up with to deal with it."

"How to deal with it?"

Hearing that his son still doesn't understand, Zhuang Zhiming couldn't help shaking his head. Lin Qianru explained: "Young proprietor, the reason for the shortage of money is because of the lack of copper to cast money. In this world, Buddhism has the most bronze wares."

This time Zhuang Yunxiao finally understood, "Buddha statues, Buddhist utensils, if they melt, they will be copper mountains. Li Wei wants to play Buddhism!"

"Other emperors dare not, but there is nothing he dare not do."

Guessing Li Wei's intentions, the father and son did not have the slightest fear, but instead had smiles on their faces.

Li Wei's previous reforms had already angered all the officials, and now he wanted to attack the Buddhist sect again, because he really thought he didn't die fast enough.

"Father, what shall we do?"

"Do nothing, just sit and watch Li Weizhong betray his relatives, continue to increase the purchase of copper coins, losing some money is nothing, making people's lives miserable, and resentment towards the emperor is the key. This matter, Ru'er, don't worry about it. "

"Yes, foster father."

"Why are you still called foster father? You are going to marry Zhuang Zhiming in a few days."

Looking at Zhuang Yunxiao, Lin Qianru who was dissatisfied still gritted her teeth and said, "Father."

"Hey, okay, go down and get busy."

"Father, why did you leave everything to Lin Qianru? Do you want me to depend on women for the rest of my life?"

As soon as Lin Qianru left, Zhuang Yunxiao couldn't help complaining.

"Idiot! No matter how good Lin Qianru is, she is an outsider. Although buying copper coins is important, it is not the core thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yunxiao immediately understood the meaning, and asked with a smile: "Father, what important matter do you want me to do?"

"Changing money, once the copper shortage breaks out, we can privately mint money."

"Isn't this helping Li Wei?"

If it wasn't for his own son, Zhuang Zhiming would have thrown this idiot into the river and drowned, so as not to waste food.

"Our private minted money will add a lot of lead. In the past, no one would use this kind of bad money. But once the copper shortage broke out, the people would have no money to use. It is better than nothing. Now we buy a large amount of copper coins at a high price. See It seems to be losing money, but when we mint money privately, it is time to harvest."

"Father is really clever, we can even cast iron money, and mud legs who have no money can use it."

"Finally, you've got the hang of it. The guy who privately minted money is about to come in. You should hurry up and start minting money as soon as you have all the tools."

"Okay, I'll prepare the manpower right now, father, don't worry, our dealer has a lot of slaves to give birth to, so it's guaranteed to be reliable."

"After selecting the manpower, let's go to Huang Jun. At that time, his errands should be finished."

Knowing that the sixth father-in-law was already waiting in the teahouse, Huang Jun hurried upstairs with his clothes on, and as soon as he entered the box, he immediately showed a flattering gesture.

"Hey, I didn't expect the sixth eunuch to come in such a timely manner. I was negligent. I really deserve to be damned. I hope that the sixth eunuch will not blame you."

Seeing Huang Jun's flattering face, the sixth father-in-law climbed up the pole handed over, rolled his eyes in an extremely arrogant manner, and finally whispered in a shrill tone: "If it weren't for the affection in the past Come on, I definitely won't come this time, so tell me, what's the point of inviting me here today?"

"Shh!"

Huang Jun pretended to be mysterious and closed the door of the box, and then took out a square box from his arms. He saw that the carvings on it were exquisite, and Huang Jun's cautious look should be some kind of treasure.

"What the hell are you doing!"

The sixth father-in-law was a little impatient, "I still have things to do, if you don't have anything important, I'll leave first."

Seeing that the sixth father-in-law got up to leave, Huang Jun grabbed him, "Don't worry, look what this is."

Huang Jun took out a pair of objects wrapped in gold velvet from the box, and then he carefully took off the cover, which turned out to be a painting.

The sixth father-in-law took a look, it turned out to be a broken painting, and then rolled his eyes in disdain, "I thought it was some kind of treasure, but I didn't expect it to be a broken painting, I really haven't seen it before."

Seeing that he didn't appreciate it, Huang Jun was not in a hurry. After clearing the things on the table, he carefully spread the painting scroll on the table, "Look, father-in-law, this is what I want to honor you."

I thought that Huang Jun had prepared a generous gift for inviting him here, but he didn't expect to get a broken painting, which is really a shame.

Thinking of this, the sixth father-in-law lost his mind at all, just glanced at it briefly, and the painting was messed up and completely incomprehensible.

"Oh, yes, thanks then."

After a brief glance, Huang Jun found that his attitude was a little perfunctory, he didn't even see that the painting was authentic, he didn't expect him to be so ignorant, it would be more suitable to exchange some gold for him if he knew this.

"Elder-in-law, take a closer look. This painting is full of ink and ink, and the ink is full of vividness. A Du, the strokes of the pen are vigorous and powerful, and the back of the paper is really amazing!"

Hearing Huang Jun's praise, although the sixth father-in-law was dissatisfied, he didn't want to show a ignorant look on his face. He nodded slightly, "In my opinion, it's okay, it's okay."

Unexpectedly, Huang Jun laughed when he heard this, and then cupped his fists and said, "Elder-in-law, you are joking. This painting only exists in the sky. It is rare to see it in the world. Some time ago, literati and inkmen have been chasing after each other to find out the authenticity. This is this painting." .”

"what?"

When the sixth father-in-law heard it, he immediately remembered the uproar among the people in the past, "Is this the one that is said to be rare to see the authenticity?"

Huang Jun pursed his lips and nodded.

So, the sixth father-in-law squatted down by the table again and began to watch carefully. He carefully protected the scroll, completely different from just now.

"Oh, this is really a treasure. Where did you get the authentic work, isn't it worth a lot of money?"

Seeing that the sixth father-in-law is so vulgar, Huang Jun felt very contemptuous in his heart, but because he needed his help for something, he respectfully stood aside and responded: "Yes, it is priceless."

"Hey, this is really a big baby."

The sixth father-in-law lovingly rolled up the scroll and put it into the wooden box, and then hugged it tightly in his arms, lest Huang Jun regret snatching it back, looking like a villain.

"Since you have accepted your baby, can you tell me what you mean by inviting me here?"

Sure enough, he was short-handed and short-mouthed to eat people. Seeing that the sixth father-in-law's attitude was different, Huang Jun quickly poured tea for him, "Elder-in-law is really smart, you can't hide anything from you."

As soon as he heard flattering, the sixth father-in-law couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear.

"To tell the truth, father-in-law, I am a timber merchant. I heard that you are an expert in this field, so I hope father-in-law can take care of the business in the future. Don't worry, father-in-law, my wood is definitely first-class."

It turned out that this was the matter, and the sixth father-in-law immediately put on airs, "I am just a slave, besides, we are loyal to the emperor, there will never be any phenomenon of dereliction of duty, the royal project is not up to you and me. "

"Eunuch's words are outrageous. No one knows the status of Eunuch in front of the emperor. I believe this trivial matter is just a matter of raising your hand for you."

As he said that, Huang Jun took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the sixth father-in-law. After receiving the painting and the banknotes, he naturally couldn't refuse.

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this wood? If there is any problem with it, we will all lose our heads."

"Don't worry, I can't make fun of the matter of taking my head off."

The sixth father-in-law thought about it, and still felt that something was wrong, but he thought that there was no reason to return the treasure he got.

"I'm still a little worried. Although I have this authority, I have to make sure that my head will not be separated. Otherwise, let me have a look and then decide."

Seeing that he was so worried, Huang Jun felt that maybe the bribery was not enough, so he thought of an idea.

"You can look at it anytime you want. My factory is nearby. To tell you the truth, no one dares to say the number one in the wood I choose. I didn't get to know you, father-in-law, when I supplied the goods to the royal family. Do not worry."

"In short, if you are willing to buy my wood, we will share it fifty-fifty at that time. In this way, isn't your father-in-law's pocket..."

Chapter 613 Reminder

Huang Jun and the sixth father-in-law looked at each other and smiled, this temptation must be enough for him.

"This... It's easy to say, but let's talk about the ugly things first. If you have a little problem with this wood, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless."

"Okay,"

Seeing that the sixth father-in-law agreed to supply the timber for the Royal Project, he hurriedly asked Xiaoer to serve the good wine and meat from the restaurant as a tribute, "Don't worry, I will definitely not cheat you."

He said it politely, but Huang Jun despised Liu Gonggong in his heart. No wonder the literati scolded the eunuch, and the eunuch really wasn't a good person.

Having obtained the baby today, and earning such a stack of bank notes for nothing, and there will be commissions in the future, Liu Gonggong thinks that this transaction is only profitable, but the only thing he is most worried about is the quality of the wood.

As soon as the good wine and meat were served, the sixth father-in-law threw these worries to the sky. He ate the meat and drank a lot, while instructing Huang Jun.

"Remember, you boy, you must never tell others about this matter. You must remember that there must be no problems with the quality of this batch of wood. You must personally check this aspect."

Huang Jun nodded, "Don't worry, I will check it out myself when the time comes."

In order not to attract attention, Huang Jun waited for the sixth father-in-law to eat and drink enough, and after sending him out of the box, Huang Jun got up and left after waiting for a while.

It's just that a big event has been accomplished, and Huang Jun, who is proud of himself, obviously doesn't know that he was identified by the sixth father-in-law as soon as he walked out of the restaurant.

In the carriage, Little Six said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is the bribe he gave to the servant."

"Just to sell wood, isn't that too much?"

Not to mention the banknotes, but that painting, sell some wood, and earn back. The businessman gives gifts for profit, so how can there be any reason to lose money and give gifts? "Long live, the slave is also wondering, will he want to find a way out first, build a good relationship with the slave, and contract the royal project in the future?"

"Perhaps, you take the silver ticket and send the painting to Zhu Xufeng. He will leave early tomorrow morning and sell the painting abroad by the way."

In this era, there is no national consciousness. Besides, the Han and Chu are also the same ethnic group as the Great Qin. Selling cultural relics to them does not count as being lost overseas.

"Your Majesty, this, this banknote, I can't take this banknote. The court is full of civil and military affairs, no one has any good things, but you are the emperor, for the sake of the people of the world, you don't even have a valuable thing around you. This slave looks distressed. Your Majesty, please take this banknote and use it to do great things."

"Then you keep one."

"No, I don't keep a single piece of this slave, Your Majesty, this slave wants to be a corrupt official, knock out all the money of those dignitaries, and dedicate it to Your Majesty!"

Hearing Little Six's words, Li Wei really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, one Huang Jun is enough, you'd better play it safe, lest those officials have a chance to impeach you."

Although Huang Jun is an official of the imperial court, the black guards have already found out that he has a close relationship with Zhuang Zhiming. Li Wei is suspicious of Huang Jun who has been very active recently, and specially asks the little six sons to test it out.

If you don’t try it, you don’t know, but if you try it, there will be problems. As a third-rank official, he is nothing in Chang’an City, but he has such a fortune to publish a book. There must be Zhuang Zhiming’s backstage support, but financial giants, can they see a small business? "Your Majesty, I have seen Lin Qianru."

Chen Yuzhou also wanted to understand why he almost became a colleague with the sixth father-in-law. When he saw her appear this time, he couldn't wait to come over to ask for credit.

This restaurant is the place where Li Wei and Lin Qianru met for the first time. At that time, Lin Qianru "met" Li Wei. .

The Black Yiwei has already found out Lin Ximin's criminal record. At the time when the imperial court implemented the law of opening China, merchants transported grain and grass into the army in exchange for salt, and then made profits from selling salt. Lin Ximin was one of the big businessmen who made a fortune because of this, but Lin Ximin was greedy. Insufficient, smuggled a large amount of goods to other countries for sale.

After being discovered, Li Gang, who was still a vassal, personally ordered the Lin family to be beheaded, and the Lin family's wealth was also confiscated.

After the incident ended, there were rumors in the business world that Li Gang was trying to covet the Lin family's property before he planted the blame.

When the case happened, Xiao Ya Nei was still a kid peeing and playing with mud, and Li Wei didn't pass through it. It's been more than ten years, and no one can tell what happened.

But it is a fact that Li Gang ordered the Lin family to be executed. No matter who is right or who is wrong, the blood debt of dozens of heads cannot be cleared with a glass of fine wine.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

"You go and tell Lin Qianru, just tell me what I said, she doesn't want to, no one can force her to marry Zhuang Yunxiao."

The dossier of Lin Ximin's case was submitted by Chen Yuzhou himself. He naturally knew what Li Wei was worried about, so he nodded and turned to leave.

After a while, Chen Yuzhou came back and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Qianru said that she doesn't need others to worry about her affairs."

"What else did you say?"

"She didn't say anything, she gave the little minister some money."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuzhou took out an iron coin with a strange expression.

The salary of the General of the Internal Guard is not low, even if he gave money, he didn't give a penny, and it was an iron coin, he used it to reward the waiter in the shop, and when the food was served, he would have to be spat on in the food.

Abnormality is a demon, Li Wei picked up the iron coin and looked at it for a long time, suddenly thought of something, sneered and said: "I understand, no wonder Huang Jun is willing to spend such a capital, let's go, go back to the palace."

Watching the carriage leave, Lin Qianru let out a long sigh. At this moment, her heart was extremely complicated, and she didn't know which side she should stand on and what to do.

In order to deceive others, Huang Jun hadn't been to the Zhuang Mansion for a long time. After wandering around the street, he turned into an alley.

The spy in charge of following up said disdainfully: "I never thought that the majestic court official would like men."

"I'm tired of the ordinary ones, so I naturally want to change it up, so let's just keep an eye on it."

After entering the door, Huang Jun entered a room under Gui Gong's enthusiastic guidance.

The enchantingly dressed man in the room saw Huang Jun coming in, saluted, and immediately lifted the bed board. It was obviously not the first time Huang Jun came, so he went straight into the secret passage without talking nonsense.

Seeing Zhuang Yunxiao waiting for him in the secret room, Huang Jun respectfully said: "I have seen the young proprietor."

"No, what's the matter?"

"Young proprietor, don't worry, I have already bribed the sixth father-in-law who is close to the emperor. He has agreed to buy my wood. Tools such as casting furnaces will be sent to the city together with the wood. No one will dare to check the royal stuff.
